I've been worried the last four years. Every year Clemson is supposed to be the better team, and each year they haven't been. I know full well that Clemson could win this game, they're certainly talented enough, but last year I really thought they'd win. I looked at the matchup and didn't like what I see.

Our team has convinced me otherwise. They believe, and they approach this game differently than other Gamecock teams have in the past. We've been a fragile team at times, and inconsistent, but these guys are warriors, and I believe they'll get the job done.

Anxious. Forget Thanksgiving. Saturday needs to hurry up and get here. I'm thinking this game could get a lot more chippey than recent games. They are pissed off and we are (if Vic is any indication) not any less determined than if we had lost 4 straight.

The past three years going into this game I have felt very VERY Confident
that USC would win. Last year I was even on record saying that Clemson's
offense would not get into the endzone more than twice against us, and
said it about 3 weeks prior to the game.

This season, I have said a few weeks back that Clemson was not a scary
looking team and I wish we were playing them that weekend when I made
the statement.

I am not nervous or worried at all. I think SC wins this one again....HOWEVER
I do feel like this will be an epic matchup and may be the closest fought
game of the last five years. I still feel very good that we are the better
team and we will win our fifth in a row and keep our home win streak
record in tact.

We have a small graduation class, and a couple of Juniors who will be
leaving after this year, but they are top notch players. Our team will
want to send them out with a win. Connor's last game and he holds a
perfect home win streak for his career and the team will want to win
for him..... we all saw what this team is capable of doing when they
rally around Connor. ... the key is for him to get off to a good start and
let the offense develop around him, and the defense to feed off of that.

We'll win, but I think both teams give the national audience their money's
worth this year.
